“With multiple PMs, we saw the benefit of having a centralized solution for investor management from the start. The system was very easy for everyone to get. There was no intensive training time, and we really appreciate all the help we got from the Backstop team as we were starting out. They were able to show us how intuitive data entry is in Backstop, and now we log everything! Not only does this help us leave a historical audit trail to ensure we stay compliant, but it’s also just good business sense to have everything in one place for everyone on my team to access at any time.”
“At GFOS, we have always put our client interests at the heart of every investment decision we make. Backstop has empowered us with a better way to collaborate and synthesize critical information on a timely basis. Our experience has been very positive since day one, with the entire implementation process running smoothly since we transitioned to the system. Everything our investment team does that touches our investment activities is now facilitated by the Backstop platform. It has become an essential tool in our investment process.”
“Great system and very easy to access. Very powerful tool for Investor Relations and Marketing purposes."
“We run private commingled funds across various opportunities that include everything from real estate to hedge funds. We also do more niche-type asset classes. For example, we own private golf clubs and manufactured housing communities, and make those opportunities available to our qualified clients. We like to think we’re able to ‘dig into the weeds’ in direct investing in a way that some of our competitors might not be able to.”
“I have used several other systems in my days and this one is by far the best, most tailored to the asset management industry and with the most user-friendly features."
"Backstop will help us achieve our goals as an investment firm, both through their technology solutions and as a trusted partner.”
“By using Backstop, our managers can easily access financial information and analysis anytime when making investment decisions.”
"Backstop is very easy to organize. I have a wealth of data about our investors and prospects in one place. The tags allow me to have focused emails and campaigns. It makes us all more efficient at engaging our investors and prospects."
“It was very much a patchwork of analysis that constrained the ability of the very talented people to extract the conclusions that they required.”
“We can send out an email to our accountants and know they’re not going to see everything in the world. They’re just going to see what you told them they should see. It is genius.”
“Well tailored for the needs of the PE/VC industry and fundraising efforts."
“The Backstop software is constantly evolving, and the team behind it does a great job of listening and working with their clients to make their experience better, improving Backstop's functionality. Most importantly, the people behind the software truly believe in their product.”
"Early on, the value of Backstop software came from making things we were already doing better. Now they’re helping us do things we hadn’t even contemplated or anticipated.”
“Backstop allows us to maintain the organization’s memory. Turnover is an unavoidable truth in any institution. As people go, they take with them crucial knowledge. Backstop is how we can mitigate this the system helps to keep track of all the conversations we have and all the people we have them with.”
"Backstop has been a great solution for our firm and working with Backstop has been a great experience since the very beginning."
